Hi Stuart or Shareholders , any news on relistings or any updates coming up please , I am not sure where we are now , i have quite a lot of CICG , and CICC but haven`t heard much about the relisting ,
Landlords are being treated quite badly by the Govt , the landlord has to cover his mortgage and cover the out goings like 5 years electrical test , each year the place has to have gas safety check and maintenance , another there is talk now of all landlords must have a licence , this licence is in each council , so if you have 3 properties in 3 counties you will need 3 licences at £600 each that is the figure talked about, why did Landlords stop renting to DSS , the Govt stopped the Govt paying the Landlord and giving the rent to the tenant and of course often the money never made it to the Landlord , so Landlords moved away from DSS , why do people buy properties for buy to let , remember Gordon Brown took 118 billion out of the private pension funds between 2008 - 2014 well that stuff final pension funds and some middle and higher class bought them as a chance to have some sort of pension when they retire , some did it as a business but lot have done it for a pension as final salary pensions stopped other than the one that is not so good anymore . the country still need Landlords as some can`t get a mortgage .
gaz , If you think that Lloyd's will be going anywhere near 50p in the short term, or even medium term, let alone a pound then you are sadly delusional.
I don`t , i see 45p max and that is the max for awhile but i dont see 50p this year also or most of next ,
Cook , you seem not to like the Pensions getting bailed out but remember the banks have pension funds also and what about the extra tax the banks have been paying in surcharges the last few years , it has been running into Billions so far , as for the Banks getting bailed out the govt made a billion from selling shares , this next windfall won`t be noticed much but the banks were hoping a reduction in that surcharge , the banks were told they must have a back up pot of cash and would hope to get some interest on it but you can bet your bottom dollar the govt will stop the interest as a tax which will save them billions , it is things like this interest for the banks that would push the SP to nearer a quid than keep it below 50p for Lloyds
Ww , yes most are for the Tories and rightly so , but Truss did stuff the markets but had the the right idea in cutting taxes but shouldn`t have borrowed the money to do it , she should have started by cutting some of the benefits as some now are getting more money on benefits than some going to work ,
Some are Labour supports here and like the way they operate , here is what Gordon Brown did to final pension funds , Well Labour did very well ruining a lot of peoples final salary pensions , infact the stealth tax was so bad it took few Billion more than they thought they were going to take , Brown managed to get to the tune of £118 billion off the pension funds from 1997 to 2014, quite a sum out of peoples pensions ,
some might be interested in the new look B52https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/our-first-look-at-what-fully-upgraded-b-52-bombers-will-look-like?fbclid=IwAR0HtjE6AVRGpTMFgIF4_TzHBqO5qdgCVpO6o_bgdIK7bjVRky9JufL_PMg
Whats up with this BB , it seems full of Labour rubbish , just remember the last general election , the city was more worried about Labour getting to power than Brexit , yeah I remember when Labour were in power OMG , the few on here have forgotten the world went on a stand still for 2 years now the war in Ukraine which has caused the 10.1% inflation , of course there are problems in the Tory party at the moment but would be 10X worse under Labour ,
want some proof look at London under a Labour Mayor .
Winstanley , If you are a Labour voter or were old enough when Labour came to power they had a full money pot when Blair came to power and Gordon Brown , Brown sold the Gold at rock bottom prices , and ruined pension funds that are very rocky even today from his damage , when the tories took power Labour left the money pot empty , no disasters but just spent and borrowed , you seem to forget the world had stopped because of covid , also the war in Ukraine , I would super hate to see what Labour would have done in the same position , of course I am not happy what Truss has done but even worse if Labour were in power , i bet most on here wouldn`t sleep at night if they were .
Hi folks ,some might like to see the wind tunnel for the new engines from RR on the B52

Gazzleberry , A small car would have been fine but they used the funds for a big motorhome , i don`t knock the disabled but the money is spent wrongly , they also have their own small car which they use for day to day life , the system is wrong but hey if you think it is ok then ummmm .
Gazzleberry , Sadly no there are many cases that need sorting out with the benefit system , my daughters neighbour was able to have a car allowance because had a disability , what he did was put the money that would be used to buy a small car to get about but was able use use to buy a motorhome for holidays , when someone phoned up about it they were told he was in his rights , there are many other cases i know and the benefit system needs changing then the govt could make tax start instead of 12k but 15k , good to help the working people .
Even going back 40 plus years ago , i worked on a site a guy pulled up in his car and said to the site manager can you pay this amount for a carpenter the site manager said you get union rate like the rest of the site , he said that is less than i am getting so can you sign this to prove i came here , the site manager phone the benefit office and said i need carpenters and this guy left , the guy in the benefit office said you are paying less than we give him so he can refuse it , the site manager said there is also overtime at double rate weekends and evening time and a half , the guy said he doesn`t have to know about overtime and that was that the guy was getting a living without going to work , there are thousand doing the same today ,
